Activist Lens: Bev Grant & Newsreel Films

In-Person, FREE | RSVP

Block Cinema welcomes Bev Grant for a screening of three short films that showcase the range of her artistic and political practices. As an early member of the iconic Newsreel Collective founded in New York City in 1967 and known as the “propaganda arm of the New Left,” Bev Grant contributed to key radical documentary films that chronicled the wave-making social movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Following the screening Bev Grant joins us in person for a conversation with Michael Anthony Turcios (Radio/Television/Film) about activism-focused filmmaking.
